Snowmobiling Wyoming

After 11 hours on the road, we suddenly begin to see some snow as we ascend the mountainous road from Dubois Wyoming. All signs indicated deep snow!
My Dad and I finally arrived at the Togwotee Mountain Lodge and then settled into our cozy cabin to rest up for the night.
The next morning was cool and sunny with some welcomed snow. We fueled up the snowmobiles and hit the throttle.
The landscape was beautiful and immense.
We spent the last 3 days of February zipping around the vast meadows, valleys, hills, and forest trails.
What an adventure!

Across Wyoming

A few weeks ago, I took a plane to meet up with my dad in Pierre, South Dakota.
When I arrived, we prepared for a long westward drive and set out at dawn.
Our destination...The Togwotee Mountain Lodge, a Wyoming haven for snowmobiling.
We covered just under 700 miles in about 11 hours with two snowmobiles in tow.
The Wyoming landscape is open and mostly treeless with frequent views of mountains on the horizon. My dad at the wheel, I was free to gaze out the window and occasionally see a herd of antelope, some eagles, and of course, many horses.
